Commencement (May 16)

Commencement is the ceremony on graduation day.The commencement of Penn was held at the stadium which has no roof.It was a beautiful day.Some of my classmates wore a black robe and a cap.They looked wonderful.I was looking forward to seeing caps thrown in the air, however, people just waved with caps and didn't throw away.

Battleship Museum (May 15)

Today I went to the Battleship Museum in New Jersey by bike and ship. It was located just across the river from Pennsylvanian side. The museum was the huge battleship itself (U.S.S. New Jersey) and I could see and touch the real turret (kaitenshiki houtou) and inside of the ship. It worked in WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, and 1980's Cold War. Although I was not very excited in the battleship before I saw, it was worth seeing.

Moving (May 14)

Today I moved out from the dorm to the house of off campus. Since the new house was 4 blocks north and three blocks west, I used taxi once and bike (several laps). Although I lived in the dorm for less than 9 months, I had a lot of stuffs in my room... I am going to move in September again, and use a car at that time.
